How do I make a thumbnail for a scratch project on my own?

So recently, I wanted to do the thumbnails by myself. However, there's no feature that allows it. Can I please get some help?

So when it saves whatever the stage shows is what the thumbnail becomes. So, before saving make sure to show your thumbnail sprite and make sure it's in the front layer and also shown then you can save it. You gotta do that process again when making edits to the project

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/754678342/ is the project. I cannot get that to work.

You would create a script like this

when green flag clicked
hide

Also, make sure whatever you want as your thumbnail is set to show first before you post the project

If you need some more help, take this tutorial / example project I made Here

Hope this helped!

Do you see the save now button near the my stuff button? If you don't, then just move one block around slightly and it should appear then you can do the process.

There's no “code” for making a thumbnail. A thumbnail is simply whatever was on the screen when you last saved the project. So, you would just save your project with your thumbnail showing on the screen for your thumbnail to show up properly. Note that for the creator of the project, sometimes the thumbnail doesn't show up properly, so you'll have to ask someone else to check and see if it worked or not.
